3D Gaming Technology Overview

Video games have rapidly evolved into something more than just a passion for the hardcore enthusiasts. Nintendo’s Wii™ platform took video gaming mainstream, out of the kid’s room and into the living room; off the couch and into an active virtual world. Developers now focus on attracting the attention of the casual gamer by concentrating on the overall user experience, both physical and visual, to immerse one into a fully interactive and realistic world. Game platforms are driving to create a fully impressive experience that gives the player complete control of their games.

The high resolution and fidelity of the Baanto™ ShadowSense™ technology will allow the user to fully interact and feel the game like never before. Players can pick up the controls and have all of their movements and actions translated onto the screen with unprecedented quality and fidelity.  You no longer just swing a tennis racket and let the game take over, but swing the racket and have the nuances of your swing translate into the action of the ball.  Accurately measuring your swing speed, racket pitch, and body orientation in real time to determine whether you applied top, side, or bottom spin to the ball, translates to game action that mimics your actual tennis game, not your avatar’s pretend game.  Whether your game is tennis, golf, baseball, lacrosse, or other racket and stick sports, ShadowSense™ based controllers inject a level of realism simply out of the reach of other active game controllers.

Features

ShadowSense™ technology can support up to 6 degrees of freedom tracking: X, Y, Z, Roll, Pitch, and Yaw in real-time from multiple sources and provide absolute position tracking for each source. 2mm resolution is possible in a 10’x10’x10’ (3m3) volume with no drift or calibration issues.  Cross-over and obscurity issues are non-existent.

Sensor frame rates of up to 10,000 per second per LED are achievable, and the object position can be tracked, the data calculated, and resolved into an image within milliseconds of capture.  This allows real time game play with unprecedented reality.

What is ShadowSense™?

ShadowSense™ is a revolutionary new 2D and 3D tracking technology that will produce highly effective and accurate results at a cost well below that of systems currently on the market. Although tracking systems have been in existence for some time, the existing implementations are both over complex and typically extremely expensive, putting them outside of the reach of many low - cost applications that would benefit greatly from such technology.

Based on a proprietary imaging technology, ShadowSense™ tracking technology is capable of accurately measuring the position of a given object’s “shadow”. By determining the relative angle and other characteristics of the shadow cast by an object, the object’s position in space can be fixed. The simplicity and effectiveness of Baanto’s technology offers significant advantages over competing technologies across a range of applications.
